WHAT IS PEPTIDE THERAPY?

Peptides are fundamental in signaling cellular processes across the body’s many systems. There are various types of these miniscule proteins within the body that initiate different cellular functions.

Every tissue and cell in the body contains peptides, and each type of peptide is made of a distinct amino acid chain. The amino acids associated with a particular peptide determine its role in the body.

Depending on your symptoms and goals for treatment, we can pinpoint the specific peptides to include in your therapeutic plan. Peptides can assist in burning fat, building muscle, slowing the aging process, and reducing the impact of chronic health issues. Peptide therapy can also support peak athletic performance, boost cognitive function, and protect against the degradation of the musculoskeletal system.

Preliminary research in cells, animal and small-scale human trials show potential benefits and uses of Semax.
Testosterone
Testosterone is the primary sex hormone in males. Traditionally, testosterone is understood in its responsibility for the development of male tissues, including the prostate and testes, while secondarily, it plays a significant role in bone and muscle mass, body hair growth, and causes a deepened voice due to increased tension on the vocal cords. As you may or may not know, testosterone is responsible for much, much more.
Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) peptide. Unlike other GHRH analogs and even the natural form of the hormone found in the brain, Tesamorelin contains the entire GHRH amino acid sequence and a trans-3 hexenoic group to protect it from enzymatic degradation, which makes it more stable and extends its half-life.
Thymosin Beta 4
Researchers investigating TB-500 and hair growth have come to the right place. In certain studies, TB-500 has shown potential to promote the formation of new blood vessels and strengthen hair follicles. Further investigation is required. However, the current data makes TB-500 a unique peptide for researchers looking to explore novel hair growth treatments.

Peptide Before and After

INJECTABLE COLLAGEN STIMULATORS

What they are

Dr. Emer is an expert in dermal fillers and highly skilled in delivering Bellafill and Sculptra injections to restore volume and boost collagen growth. Each of these injectables is an effective collagen builder as a singular treatment. To optimize his patients’ results, Dr. Emer has developed methods of pairing Bellafill and Sculptra with complementary treatments to enhance and extend the effects of these advanced dermal fillers.

Bellafill – This injectable filler consists of tiny biodegradable balls suspended in a collagen gel. The injected collagen is gradually absorbed by the body, but the microspheres stay and function to encourage the body to produce collagen for up to five years.

Sculptra – Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injectable filler that increases volume to achieve aesthetic facial and body contours. Sculptra works beneath the skin to trigger natural collagen production as the body absorbs the tiny PLLA particles. The result is fuller, healthier-looking skin and increased collagen building for up to 24 months.

HGH PEPTIDE THERAPY

Many patients inquire about peptide therapy to boost human growth hormone (HGH) levels. In adults, HGH plays an important role in maintaining healthy bodily tissues, organs, and bones. If adults are deficient in HGH, osteoporosis, cardiovascular issues, and weakened muscles can occur. Additionally, patients will notice more body fat.

While synthetic HGH treatments are available as a hormone replacement therapy, this approach is not without some risks. HGH peptides are not replacement hormones. Instead, HGH peptides encourage the pituitary gland to increase the body’s natural production of HGH as a means of restoring a more optimal level of the hormone.

WHAT IS A PEPTIDE TREATMENT LIKE?

There are various ways to administer peptide treatments. Your personal preference, treatment goals, and the specific peptides included in your therapy may affect our recommendations for your ideal treatment approach.

Peptide injections are preferable in the majority of cases, as this method is the most efficient way to deliver peptides to the bloodstream. However, there are cases in which oral capsules, topical creams, or nasal sprays may be a more suitable form of delivery.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR PEPTIDE THERAPY TO WORK?

You may notice positive effects within a few weeks. However, the full benefit of peptide therapy can typically be expected after three to six months of treatment.

HOW MUCH DOES PEPTIDE THERAPY COST?

Due to the personalized nature of this treatment, the price of peptide therapy varies from one patient to another. The delivery method and the peptides included in your treatment will affect the overall cost.
